Chapter 121: Yique competes in the town sword
Although the Yishui that originated in the Bear's Ears Mountain does not have the surging momentum of the Yellow River, but also because of the strange and dangerous mountain situation, the flowing water is very urgent, at this time the summer solstice has been a long time, the smoke and rain in the mountains are continuous, the river water is overflowing, and some of the original dangerous and narrow places have also become wide.
Taking a boat at the foot of Bears Ears Mountain, Yuan Cheng and his party of six went straight to Nayique City.
Yique City is located in the upper reaches of Yishui, here was a small fishing village hundreds of years ago, destroyed by the river monster in the water, after the town monster sword suppressed the water monster, Yishui gradually stopped, making this place slowly become fat again.
Later, the monk found that the magical effect of the town monster sword was spreading, and more and more decorations came to admire it, and by now, Yique City was already a big city in the southwest of Luodu.
Yuan Cheng and the others took a large boat, and there were many people on the boat along the way, most of them were monks, and some people wanted to be brave and proud at first, but they were suppressed by Liu Huajindan's cultivation.
Maybe Liu Hua is not the most powerful person on this ship, but he is definitely at the upper middle level, because although this monster sword has a strange effect, it has little effect on refining the Yuan Infant of the Yang God.
In addition, those who can reach these levels have a little background and heritage, and not everyone is very eager for this.
However, there are at least 100 people in this boat, and each of them holds long swords and short swords, which also shows that the Tang Dynasty is strong in martial arts, but it is several levels stronger than that of Nawusizang.
Li Hu seemed to be seasick, which made several people very helpless, and Yuan Cheng could only rely on that little knowledge to buy him a few strings of sugar gourds, and barely carried them to the Yique City dock on the third day.
When he came here, Yuan Cheng knew the consequences of coming late, and as far as he could see, the wilderness outside Yique City was full of tents, densely packed, and there were many masters of Jindan cultivation.
"Why don't you go to the city and have a look?"
Liu Hua didn't have much confidence when he said this, the current many monks in the north of Yique City occupy it, it's not that you can rent it if you have money, although the money you spend is not high, but people will not be stupid enough to let themselves sleep in the wilderness for a few money.
However, when Yuan Cheng and the others walked to the gate of the city, they saw many people shouting:
"Top single room, five taels of silver a night!"
"A good two-room room, eight taels of silver can live!"
Looking at these people waving their sleeves, Yuan Cheng guessed that these were probably the existence of scalpers in later generations.
"Hey, why do all the monks who enter the city go towards the center of the city?"
Li Hu's surprise also attracted the attention of several people, but before Liu An stepped forward to ask, a person stepped forward with a cower and grinned:
"A few people don't know, this competition to win the quota is to go to the Zhenjian faction to pay money to get an identity card. ”
Hearing this, Yuan Cheng frowned, could it be that this town sword was occupied by a certain group of people to make profits?
"I didn't hear of it in previous years, so why is it this year?"
Facing Liu Hua's questioning, the man smiled again and said:
"Half a year ago, the master of Yiyuan Infant claimed to be the ancestor of Chen Chuan, and he set up a sect in this city, accepted several challenges, and made three chapters with the government, which was to preach in this city, and this town sword competition was the first time, but it was also fair and just. ”
Hearing the words of Chen Chuan Ancestor, Yuan Cheng felt a little familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand it, so he simply ignored it anymore, and when the man finished speaking, he was about to go to the city.
At this time, the person who took the initiative to come over finally said his purpose.
"There are three houses in the city, one of which he lives in, and the other two, and if he wishes, he may move in for three taels of silver. ”
It turned out that it was another person who was selling houses, although it sounded good, but Yuan Ying and the others did not make a decision immediately, but said that they would go to Ling's identity card to see the situation first.
Who expected that the person was smiling, and he didn't see outside, so he followed Yuan Cheng and his party towards the city, from this Chen Chuan Ancestor, he talked about all the secrets of the town monster sword, not to mention that this person grew up here, and he really knew a lot of things.
Coming to a building area in the city, unlike the sect in the city, this town sword sect is more like a Taoist temple, surrounded by many houses and buildings, and the garden and bamboo forest are also complete.
In the wide martial arts training ground received the identity card, a few people just went outside, this walk, found that there were monks everywhere, including two thieves, walked a few places, found that there was really no housing, a few people had no intention of playing, think about it, is to follow the man towards the house he said.
This house is in the southeast corner of the city, and there are deep mountains outside the city behind it, but it is a little remote, but it is not much silver, and at Liu Hua's insistence, he came out.
Then, Poria and Li Hua and Li Hu lived in the rightmost room, Yuan Cheng and Liu Hua lived in the middle room, and the master lived in the leftmost room.
Yuan Cheng didn't know why the man knew that several of them wanted housing, and he was so persistent, but the man didn't cultivate, Yuan Cheng didn't be too vigilant, just took advantage of the person's absence, and said to a few people to be careful.
Then, everyone cultivated in their own rooms, eating their own dry food, and the water was also changed by the person who was not there.
In the evening, the man came to Yuan Cheng's side to fill the tea that had already drunk half a pot, said goodnight, and returned to his room.
After a night of nothing, Yuan Gong and the others were a little wary, seeing that the people in the city were not a little less, but they were getting more and more crowded, so they hurriedly bought some food, and returned to their residence to continue cultivating.
There is a City God Temple more than ten zhang east of Yuan Gong's residence.
"Well, did they let their guard down?"
The person who asked was a bald monk, wearing a robe of Buddha, but what was strange was that this person not only looked quite vicious, but also had a scar on the corner of his mouth hooked to the side of his cheek and under the earlobe.
"Immortal master rest assured, these people are all young people who have just gone out, although they are a little vigilant, but they have been relieved last night, and the tea is already drinking. ”
Hearing this, excitement flashed in the monk's eyes, and then he patted the man and grinned:
"You did a good job, this is three taels of silver, and you can be given three taels if it is successful, it depends on your performance tomorrow night!"
Checking the silver in his hand, the man tried to avoid the great strength coming from the monk's hand, and said:
"Immortal master, don't worry, you take people, I want silver taels, it's absolutely no problem!"
Hearing this, the monk explained a few words to the man before letting the man go back, he watched the man enter the door, and then grinned, as if he thought of something, and his eyes flashed with a hot color.
Although Yuan Cheng and the others were wary, they were also instinctive, how did they know that their people had been sold for six taels of silver.
On the evening of the third day, the man came to replenish his tea as usual before leaving.
Yuan Cheng and the others practiced it, and they went to bed to practice and settled down.
Suddenly, a puff of light smoke drifted into the room, colorless and tasteless, Yuan Cheng and the others seemed to be unaware, and then one after another fell down.
After that, the monk appeared, he seemed to know this place very well, came to Yuan Cheng and the others' room to take a look, laughed, and walked next door, as for the man, he was holding the silver tael and smirking in his room.
When the monk entered the next room, Yuan Cheng, who had closed his eyes tightly, suddenly opened his eyes, and he looked at Liu Hua and the others, who were already unconscious, and walked lightly outside.
He wanted to see who dared to pay attention to him.
Yuan Cheng, who was a cat, didn't know that on the roof of the house in the distance, there was a man in a Taoist robe looking at this side fixedly, he was one with the night, and the light from his eyes was extremely cold.
When he saw Yuan Cheng's movements, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly, and then muttered:
"The kid is really alert, so it's okay, if you have nothing to do, go talk to an old friend!"
